The Rant: Shutting down football at Penn State won't solve anything

As you’ll notice in the field of sports writing, when something scandalous transpires, columnists often rush to see who can be the most judgmental. The latest example: It is trendy among righteous writers is to argue that Penn State should shut down its football program. Why? What would that prove? It would aid no one. Assuming Jerry Sandusky did what he was accused of doing, the proper thing to do was to prosecute him. That’s exactly what happened. It’s a shame it didn’t happen sooner, but punishment was handed out.
